EAGLE The eagle can represent several things, depending upon its context in your dream. It can point to the powerful, strong hunting instinct in business or in being a providing parent. It can depict protective strength; a male figure; relentlessness.

Because the eagle, like most hunting birds, has an extraordinary far reaching and inclusive gaze, it can link with the ability of your own mind to at times expand far beyond the immediate sense impressions and concerns, to include years of life experience, and what you have learned when looked at as a whole. It can therefore represent spiritual vision.

Occasionally the eagle, or other such large bird, can be a threatening figure in a dream. This because wider awareness may at times feel as if you are 'carried away'. Being lifted into the unknown in this way can cause unwarranted fear. See: Birds.

EAR Receptiveness to your feelings and intuition. Rumours.

EARTH The earth is your body. It is all the things in nature that you take for granted, that enable you to exist. Just as the physical earth is made up of past events – the trees and leaves, the plants and creatures that have lived and crumbled into the dust of the soil – so the earth of your dream represents your past on which your present exists, and your future is built. Therefore, digging into it would uncover things you have buried there from your past; feelings that have lain buried. The earth is also your mother. It depicts the soil, the genetic material, and the background from which you have sprung. It is the womb of the past from which you have being born.

Are you growing things in the earth?

Anything growing from the earth in your dream shows something that has developed from the possibilities of your life, and who you are. From the point of view of dreams, everything you do think can feel is a creative act and things grow from them. Therefore, if you are planting something, then you are attempting to develop something you from your possibilities.

Are there things you are digging up from the earth?

If you are uncovering an object, or old bones, then you are probably becoming conscious of long buried memories and feelings from your past. If what you are taking from the earth is vegetables, or things to eat, these are the fruits of your past efforts, and suggest benefits arising in your life.

Is the earth muddy or dry?

If the earth is muddy and difficult to walk in, you are probably finding your present life hard to deal with. Negative emotions are bogging you down. But if the earth is dry and firm, then you are feeling of firm ground as far as relationships and creativity are concerned.

Are you under the earth?

The level of awareness prior to birth; the basis of consciousness out of which your personal self-awareness sprung. The unconscious processes of yourself, with its collective family influences, and racial memories.

Being in a tunnel, cave, or mine, show you exploring what is usually beneath the surface of your mind and feelings. This is a journey into your unconscious. Remember the rules here are different to those in everyday life. Here you create your own environment, your own traps and freedom, out of your fears, hopes and love.

This often represents the things you take for granted in life, like your body, the processes of life, your family or cultural background, the basics of belief upon which you stand. But earth also represents the past, the fallen leaves of your experience from which soil new structures of self are built.

Digging into the earth is digging into your history, and in its layers you find the story of the evolution of consciousness and life in matter or mother.

To come up out of the earth, or a grave, is to be born out of this mother’s womb, into new insights or period of your life.

Soft earth or fields: Mother; the fundamental processes of life out of which you have your exist.

Off the ground: Losing connection with your roots of family or culture. Living in a state of mind that does not connect you with common reality. This may also be occasionally shown as being on a high building.

EARTHQUAKE This suggests great anxiety. But it is often dreamt when enormous personal changes are occurring, perhaps brought on by slow gathering change that suddenly pushes into consciousness.

EAST The indefinable but felt source of your personal awareness. The mystery of birth and existence. Sometimes represents what you know unconsciously but have never made conscious.

EATING This shows you satisfying your needs, or trying to. Occasionally it refers to what your body needs to eat or avoid eating. If you are the one being eaten, it may suggest you are consumed by some passion, such as sexual desire, or ambition. See: Food.

To eat is to continue involvement in the fundamental processes of life, a celebration of interdependence. It is an expression of the desire to take in nourishment, whether physical, emotional or nourishment of the mind. Experience itself is a form of food because we take it in and digest it. The urge to eat is an expression of life itself.

ECHO Inner response from outer action. This might suggest the effect of things you do in life, like reaping what you sow. It can also be a representation of things glimpsed in everyday life, the importance of which were missed, or impact overlooked.

ECSTASY Reflects a state of being completely in accord and harmony. There are no discords, conflicts, or divisions of self. This is different to elation, which may be experiencing one sphere of the emotions.

EDEN Sometimes one has a sense of being in the Garden of Eden, and this shows you have touched a sense of yourself beyond the limitations of thinking and time. It is the you that exists in connection with the rest of creation, and has always existed without effort.

EEL Male sex organ, sperm. This might suggest the effect of things you do in life, like reaping what you sow. It can also be a representation of things glimpsed in everyday life, the importance of which were missed, or impact overlooked.. See: Fish.

EGG Eggs are possibilities, things that can develop and grow if nurtured. Latent abilities and tendencies, good and bad. Also represent hopes. Eggs have also been used since ancient times to represent your complete nature. In this case it is similar to chrysalis as described. The egg can also represent the female ovum, and life in the womb.

EGYPT Your unconscious or psychic self. See: Abroad.

EIGHT Usually associated with generation, degeneration and regeneration. In the growth of a seed, we can take the seed to represent number one, its relationship with the soil or opposite as two; the budding of seed into shoot as three or the point of growth: then the reaching above ground and rooting as four. The opening of leaves five; the development of stem six, the formation of bud seven, the opening of bud and fertilisation eight, the forming of seed nine. Thus eight can be seen as a climax where the old self opens to the development of the seeds of the new. It is a sort of death or degeneration into matter, that yet develops the seeds of the future, of spiritual consciousness. It is thus the sign of death and rebirth. Also of Justice. In the symbol of the figure eight, we see that the down ward loop drops and then doubles back to rise again. The Zodiacal sign of Scorpio, the governor or inspector. It governs the generative Organs, and the eighth house governs legacies, death, the occult. See: Numbers..

ELASTIC The ability to adapt. It may also show feelings to do with things that rebound.

ELBOW A support. An idea or hope, giving support or flexibility in expression.

ELECTRIFIED/ELECTRICITY/ELECTROCUTED In general it relates to your energy in all its aspects, mental, emotional and psychic. This energy, like electricity, can be very positive or harmful. i.e. fears and long held grief can cause illness. In some dreams the electricity is seen as frightening or threatening, this is because there are levels of your own potential and feeling you are not handling well. You may be feeling a lot of self criticism for instance. The electricity can also be 'shocking'. This suggests some event or feelings are painful.

In some dreams the electricity if seen as frightening or threatening, this is because there are levels of your own potential and feeling you are not handling well.

The electricity can also be 'shocking'. This suggests some event is painful. Or a motor is burning out, showing how you need to be careful how you are dealing with your energy and emotions.

ELEPHANT This is the great power of the unconscious processes of life, not just in your body, but around you. Your relationship with the elephant shows how you are dealing with this enormous force. The elephant also may connect with sexual intercourse, or sex energy. The tremendous inner power of the unconscious, with a mahout, or conscious direction or cooperation can achieve wonderful things. Without it enormous destruction can take place. Ganesh, the Indian Elephant god represents the remover of all obstacles, the power of spirit manifesting. See other entry on elephant.

ELEVATOR See: Lift.

ELEVEN 11 The eleventh hour has represented last minute activity, last desperate efforts. It also represents strength to face and control animal nature or instincts, which gives us liberty from them. It is two on a higher level, or another level, symbolising a reflex of number ten, which is the dynamic directive to reincarnate, or re-express. Eleven is the matrix, or mould, within us, that receives and restores form after the pattern we have already created in the past; or on the basis of what we have experienced in the past. The astrological sign is Aquarius, the seeker or scientist. It governs ankles and nervous system, and the eleventh house rules long friendships. See: Numbers..

ELF A force active in your unconscious. See: Dwarf.

ELK_MOOSE See other entry on moose.

EMAIL Principally about communication, or connection. This connection may be through ones thoughts or intuition, not only through physical links such as the telephone line. See: Letter.

EMBALM The attempt to prolong the present form of beliefs and feelings, despite the fact that life has moved on, and is attempting to express in new ways. Fear of death. Desire for physical immortality.

EMBLEM This probably relates to what you deeply, but perhaps unconsciously identify with, or have links with. For instance you might identify with the culture of your parents if you are en immigrant, or you might identify with a certain type of person. So the emblem in your dream would show you where strong psychic strengths are. It could be a link with your inner confidence.

EMBRACE See: Cuddle.

EMBRYO Something developing in the unconscious. Something growing within which we are not yet aware of and not yet sufficiently developed to express outwardly, and that is vulnerable. Or a regression to early levels of consciousness. A desire to live in womb-consciousness.
